Anya Hindmarch

Launched by its namesake at the age of 19, this quintessentially British accessories brand draws upon classic Italian design tenets as well as the country’s fabled craftsmanship. Inspired by Italy’s iconic fashionable females—and the leather duffle bags they then carried—Hindmarch ultimately followed a stint in Florence with the opening of a small shop in London, where she produced her wares. Fast forward to today, Hindmarch, awarded an MBE for service to the fashion industry in 2009, counts everyone from Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne to the Duchess of Cambridge and the late Baroness Thatcher as fans. Immediately recognizable by the brand's signature bow insignia, Hindmarch’s handbags offer a playful, sophisticated twist on traditional silhouettes and styles. Rendered in everything from luxe leathers and exotic snakeskins to sleek fabrics and summer-ready straw, Hindmarch’s creations conjure an ideal union of beauty and practicality.
